When a person chews tobacco in the form of snuff and spits into a container. The container of spit becomes a Dip Bomb when the person leaves and forgets the container. The Dip Bomb is then found several days later by an unsuspecting victim when it is spills, or when a parched victim unknowingly takes a swig while assuming that the fluid is the liquid labelled on the container. The swig usually causes the victim to drop the Dip Bomb causing it to erupt the contents everywhere. When a Dip Bomb is detonated, the person is usually not around to clean up the mess, forcing the victim to endure the aftershock of cleaning up the mess.

Victim: Where is Jo?!

Friend of Victim: I don't know. What's wrong?

Victim: He left his spit bottle in my room and I accidentally knocked it over while I was cleaning my desk! It's all over my desk and my keyboard! It's even in the carpet and on my shirt!

Friend of Victim: *laughs* Yeah... He went home after we had been drinking all day and I found what I thought was a half a beer. I took a drink and immediately "spitted" it out and started throwing up. I dropped the can and it got on my carpet too. It's like a Dip Bomb.

Victim: That's the second time he's Dip Bombed me! I'm gonna get him back, somehow.
